United States President, Joe Biden, has said that he doesn’t
plan to ship any rockets to Ukraine that could reach Russian territory amid the
ongoing war between both neighbouring countries.
Biden said this at the White House on Monday when asked
whether he was planning to send long-range rockets to Ukraine.
“I won’t send anything that can fire into Russia,” Biden
said.
Recall that the Biden administration is preparing to step up
the kind of weaponry it is offering Ukraine by sending advanced, long-range
rocket systems that are now the top request from Ukrainian officials.
The administration is leaning toward sending the systems as
part of a larger package of military and security assistance to Ukraine, which
could be announced as soon as next week.
It has wavered on whether to send the systems amid concerns
raised within the National Security Council that Ukraine could use the new
weapons to carry out offensive attacks inside Russia, according to officials.
On Friday, Russia warned that the United States would “cross
a red line” if it supplies the systems to Ukraine.
